Evaluation of an Arthritis Self-Management Program: Arthritis Basics for Change (ABCs)Funding NumberU48/CCU715766 SIP 3-01 Project DescriptionAppropriate disease management is essential for persons with chronic conditions such as arthritis. The Arthritis Basics for Change (ABC) self-management program was developed as a self-study program for individuals who may not have access to more structured class-based programs. The ABC program had not been formally evaluated for effectiveness. The purpose of this project was to develop a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the ABC program; determine the effectiveness of the program in changing knowledge, beliefs, behaviors, self-efficacy, and health outcomes related to arthritis and evaluate the appropriateness, usefulness, and readability of the program content and dissemination method. This evaluation would provide valuable information to the CDC Arthritis Program with regard to effectiveness of this specific self-management program, as well as inform future efforts to develop materials/programs for specific audiences and the best dissemination mechanisms for them.
